11:06 p.m.: We assume if you've made it this far into the Final Four telecasts, you realize there are three going on. TBS has the regular telecast while team-specific telecasts are airing on TNT and TruTV. In case you don't know, Charles Barkley has a reminder for you here.

11:01 p.m.: Oh heyy Frank Kaminsky. Spin move gives Wisconsin two points, his first time scoring since 8:40 left in the first. He's got four points, four rebounds and a block. Makes it a 64-60 Badger lead.

10:55 p.m.: A look at the box score: Kentucky has attempted three 3-pointers and made one. Wisconsin is 8-for-17 AND still perfect from the free throw line (16-for-16). Kentucky has the 26-19 rebound advantage.

10:53 p.m.: This is what all of March Madness and the Final Four is about. Wisconsin and Kentucky are battling in a back-and-forth game for a spot in the National Championship. It's 56-55 Kentucky with 11:30 to play.

10:45 p.m.: Dekker drained that 3 for Wisconsin coming out of the break, but it's all Kentucky. The Wildcats are on an 11-3 run so far in the first 4:27 of the second half, all 11 points coming after Dekker's 3-pointer. It's 49-43 at the official timeout.

10:41 p.m.: They're baaaack. Kentucky takes the lead, 45-43, after trailing by four at the half.

Kentucky doing what Kentucky does, crush teams on the glass. Give them second chances and you will lose.

10:09 p.m.: Sam Dekker and Bronson Koenig have 11 points and Ben Brust has 10 for Wisconsin. The Badgers lead 40-36 as time runs out on the first half. Koenig missed the last-seconds jumper.

9:55 p.m.: A lot just went down there.Foul on Frank Kaminsky, dead ball foul on Dakari Johnson (personal contact after the foul). Johnson made 1-of-2, Ben Brust took the shots for Wisconsin and made both. Makes it a 32-25 lead for Wisconsin.

9:50 p.m.

Bronson Koenig already has nine points for Wisconsin. He hit the double-figure mark three times this season.

9:45 p.m.: It's 23-20 Wisconsin closing in on halftime. The Badgers are a perfect 4-for-4 on free throws; the Wildcats are 3-for-6. It's something to watch for as the teams keep within one score of each other.

9:42 p.m.: Randle said when he came off he "just rolled it," in regards to his ankle. TBS' sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson said he retied his right shoe to make it tighter and did not take it off.

9:22 p.m.: And we're off. The second Final Four matchup has a much closer score than fans were treated to in the Florida-UConn game. Kentucky leads, 9-7, with seven of its nine points from James Young. Aaron Harrison has the other two.

8:24 p.m.: Swish. Boatright knocks down both free throws and another No. 1 is close to heading home. The Gators need to make up 12 points in 49.9 seconds.

8:20 p.m.: Napier sinks both shots in the and-1 with two minutes on the clock. Following a Patric Young layup for Florida, Napier helps push the score even further away with an assist and Niels Giffey dunk. The Huskies lead 61-51 with 1:21 on the clock.

8:14 p.m.: Under four minute timeout and UConn still clutches the lead, 53-47. The Gators have made attempts at taking the game back, but just when it's close, the Huskies push the gap up a little more.

8:09 p.m.:

Florida students now pulling Dwight Howard and Chandler Parsons to the front of their section. This will inspire them.

6:56 p.m.: Napier's first bucket: A killer 3-pointer with nearly four minutes left in the first half. Florida leads 20-18.

6:46 p.m.: A 3-pointer, a Napier steal and another 3 bring UConn back into the game. Only a one-point lead now as the Huskies get the offense going.

6:42 p.m.: It's not looking good for UConn. The Huskies have five turnovers and the Gators are capitalizing. They're spreading it around, too. Four of Florida's five starters have points as does Dorian Finney-Smith off the bench.
